Vermont was uniquely represented at the nation’s largest music festival in March 2015 when six of our bands showcased our homegrown music at SXSW in Austin, Texas. Waylon Speed, The DuPont Brothers, Lowell Thompson, Zero Circle, Get A Grip, and The Snaz demonstrated the state’s powerful musical talent from the same stage, rising from cooperation between the SXSW producers and Big Heavy World, Vermont’s independent, volunteer-run music office, with additional support from the Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing. VERMONT MUSIC SHOWCASE was co-presented by RETN, Main Street Landing and Big Heavy World.
